Dark Brown Buut Chai Go ( steamed rice cup cake)

I used ramekins to make these yummy buut chai go, traditional type is steamed in a small bowl and you get a "belly button" in the centre of the cake, like what I did here.  Recipe is the same as the white buut chai go, just swap the white sugar to dark brown sugar.
Dark brown sugar does not taste very sweet which is good,  it has very nice chewy texture too. Great desserts or snacks for the coming Chinese New Year.
If you add the red beans halfway through steaming, you can get the beans to show up on the top of the cakes. If you would not mind at all,  just add them in right away, like mine.

Grass Jelly Soy agar agar (healthy)

Grass jelly can be cut into cubes or other forms, then mixes with syrup to produce a good dessert or drink thought to have cooling properties, which makes it typically consumed during hot weather. If you like soy milk, then this is for you.

Nutritious Black Sesame Dessert Soup

Black sesame is a powerful food of many health-promoting anti-aging benefits.  It gives you healthier skin and bones, good for heart health, protector against cancer, can be a relief for constipation and indigestion, and acts as a lactation aid as well.
Grinding the seeds and soaking them overnight can help make the seeds more digestible.  Overall, this is a nutritious tasty dessert.

Sago Pudding (gula melaka and coconut milk)

                                                      Absolutely delicious dessert...

Coconut red bean pudding ( Matcha)

   This is the kind of coconut pudding I had at the Yum Cha Restaurant recently.
   Using just a small amount of matcha powder makes the pudding taste so refreshing.
   Be generous with the beans used.

Mochi (red bean)

Light brown sugar (Bak Tong Go)

It's the similar recipe and method to Bak Tong Go and Muscovado Bak Tong Go, I just swapped to the different type of sugar used.

Water chesnut sweet soup

                         Very simple, refreshing Chinese dessert soup.  Best when it is chilled.

White Bak Tong Go (steamed cake)

     After the muscovado Bak Tong Go, we are craving for more now:)

Muscovado Bak Tong Go ( steamed cake)

    Muscovado sugar...

Lychee Agar Agar

Days are getting warmer here,  these agar agar are just good for us now.
Who wouldn't like Lychee?

Coconut Palm Sugar Agar Agar

                   Palm Sugar goes so well with coconut cream here, easy to make, taste good...

Pumpkin dumplings (tangyuan) with Purple Yam

        I never knew homemade dumplings ( tangyuan) could taste so good, way better than the ones I always get from the Asian grocery shops here!  It is actually very easy to make, takes a few short minutes and it's done!

        I believe the pumpkin mash does a lot of good, bringing a wonderful chewy texture, I shall try the  sweet potato mash next time.  What a good dessert....

Coffee Jelly

                             A very refreshing dessert especially for summertime.  You can go with cold milk or whipping cream.

4. Transfer mixture into small bowls and steam over high heat for about 20 minutes.
5. If you like,  half way of steaming, add read bean paste onto the surface of the rice cake and continue to stem until cooked through. ( Use a stick and go through into the cake and check, if it's comes out clean, it's ready to removed from the steam).
